A New Direction (AND) is a London-based not-for-profit organisation that generates opportunities for children and young people to unlock their creativity. AND works with partners across education, culture and the creative industries, local government and business, to support children and young people to be creative and experience culture, while identifying areas of inequality and campaigning for policy change.
AND has recently launched Reset – a programme of support for the education and cultural sectors in response to the pandemic, including a Recovery Curriculum. Some activities can be done in one lesson, but others are a sequence of activities that will require more time.
The activities (all co-created with an artist) have been designed to be suitable for KS2 and KS3; however AND has included some tips for adapting the activities for younger and older students, along with ideas for how to make activities more student-led, and how to include more guidance for those who need it.
